Simogo has pulled it off with Beat Sneak Bandit. In my books it's a must buy, and such a shame it would be to miss out." - TouchArcade "It's impossible not to fall in love with this funky little number." - Videogamer.com "Beat Sneak Bandit is polished, challenging, wholly original and a heck of a lot of fun. It’s a great example of how presentation, control and design can come together to create a cohesive and extremely fun package. Don’t miss it!" - IGN "Quick to get into but devilish in the detail, Beat Sneak Bandit makes all the right noises, and in what's already a strong year for mobile gaming, this is the best iPhone game I've played." - Eurogamer "Every now and again though, a game comes along for iOS that knocks you for six, and re-ignites your passion for not just iOS gaming, but gaming in general. Well, Beat Sneak Bandit is one such game." - Touchgen "It's an unlikely mix for sure, but Beat Sneak Bandit's smart blend of puzzling and beat-matching proves to be an ingeniously crafted delight." - Pocketgamer "You'll be hard pressed to put this game down until you've 'clocked' it entirely - a must have for all iPhone gamers." - Appspy "A true work of art, in so many ways. It's smart. It's challenging. It's gorgeous. But most importantly, it's fun - dizzying, dreamy, and delightful fun." - Gamezebo

Sequel?

I absolutely LOVE this game! It’s so unique. Nothing else even remotely comes close to its gameplay! I wish there is a sequel planned. I know it’s been nearly a decade, but is there any hope? I’ll pay double!

One of my favorite games!

The graphics are great! The levels are challenging! As long as you can step to the best, then you are able to sneak your way to the end. I find that even though I have best all of the levels, I’ll go back and replay them for fun. My only comment is I want more!❤️❤️❤️

Back to reality

Alright, so the devs saw the game wasn’t working on XR and fixed it. So I’m here to fix that one star into 5. Game is one of a kind and needs to, at least, be experienced once. Good to have it back and playable.

Satisfying challenge

The good: Clever level design. You can make the game as easy or hard as you want, because it's up to you how many collectibles you go after each level. It's hard and yet not frustrating , a balance that few games are able to achieve. The bad: Very little really. You could say that the music isn't the greatest.

One of my favorite classic games

I'm so happy this has been updated to new phone sizes as well as 64-bit. This is one of my absolute favorite games; it was one of the first to take a one-tap style of gameplay and make it really good. The rhythm puzzle mechanics, the music, the art style: All of it is delightful. Get it and enjoy.

Make sure your ringer isn't silent

I originally published a one-star review that complained of no sound, even though my volume was maxed, my ringer was maxed, and I could play other audio just fine. It was fixed by switching off the vibrate switch, which I didn't realize was enabled. When the game says "sound must be switched on," it means it. I'll update this review with my impressions later.

It's a short game but well worth the price given that it seems made for touchscreen UI, simple & crafty and challenging! This is a perfect app for the thinker/choral/band/DJ geek. I played through it three times before writing this.

Art of Theft meets Rhythm Heaven

Props to this game for actually revolving around rhythm and not "hit the buttons as fast as you can!!!" The art style is fantastic, the music is fantastic, everything's great, my only qualm is that there aren't any other rhythm games on this level of quality on the App Store.

Horrible gameplay

This is a horrible game. I don't see the allure to this game at all. I took a chance at 2.99 and now I want my money back. Tap to the beat to move? Might appeal to some but I don't believe at all this appealed to so many positives. I couldn't get past 5 minutes of this game. I spent so much time trying to move to the beat and watching the beat drum, than anything else. How is this fun? It is not. Horrible gameplay and horrible idea for a game. Ignore all the positive reviews that are obviously false.

Maybe I'm missing something?

This is an excellent game as far as game play and production value. It also doesn't have in-app purchases, thankfully. But I'm not sure why there's so many five star "omg" reviews. As a puzzle game it's painfully tedious, repetitive, and annoying. As a rhythm game it's boring and simplistic. After beating the first puzzle, I was disappointed to realize that it's essentially the same tune over and over. Throughout the entire game. Meaning the rhythm game part doesn't really change in difficulty, just the puzzles. Honestly the rhythm aspect is more of a gimmick than really incorporated into the game. Three stars because the production value is top notch and I love there's not IAP. I don't regret buying just not sure why everyone swears by it.

Fun!!!

Although this game's repetitive music can get annoying, this is a must buy for people who enjoy rhythm games, puzzle games, and platformers! I had my doubts at first about this, "$3 for a game? Ain't nobody got time for that!" Was my original thought, then I looked on youtube for the first few levels, and the game actually looked interesting! I had decided that since I've had these $4 on my account for so long, might as well use it! Not the best money I've spent on a game (cause this is my second favorite game) but it was worth it three times over :)

An Innovative Title that is Executed Superbly, but Needs iCloud Saves!

A wonderful combination of stealth, rhythm, and platforming, but the biggest letdown of any universal app is no iCloud support, especially a level based experience such as this! Please add this important feature in Simogo!

Annoying

The beat based control scheme isn't interactive or fun. It's a stilted attempt to add complexity to a pretty standard 2D puzzle game. Once you visualize the route that will allow you to collect all the clocks and clear the level, executing the pattern in time with the looping samples is just painful.

It took me 3 hours to defeat duke in the finale. I enjoyed the joy of success. The game has great art design, which is a guarantee of simogo. For me the game is challenging but not too hard, and kept me playing. The vacuum bluster is cute!

Best rhythm I've played in awhile

This game is totally worth it's money. Tap to the beat to sneak around and avoid the obstacles. You never know what the beat will be like but it's a nice challenge to adapt and move at the right times. If you want an entertaining rhythm based game, this is one of many great ones 😃

The game is great; definitely worth $3. I hesitated initially because the game isn't optimized for iPhone 5, but it's really not a problem at all and isn't noticeable.

The duke

I am a big fan of the game and it is worth buying. It even has replay value which is a big thing in the gamin community. I love the on beat controls and it helps stimulate brain activity. I personally love the music that plays when Duke appears and his boss battle music.I recommend this to anyone and everyone.

annoying

I don't like most puzzle games, so i was taking a chance in downloading this, and I lost that bet. I found the game annoying well before i got to the point of having to repeat levels. you can't move quickly because you can't move on, say, eighth or sixteenth notes - it's quarter notes or nuthin'. the graphics are all angular - kind of impressionist-style, i guess - which I don't think is pretty, everything's jerking around to the beat, and the music's not innovative or interesting, which is a kinda big shortcoming in a music-based game. the game's great for some people, i guess, but it just got on my nerves. I deleted it after attempting the third level.

Fantastic Visual, Crap Gameplay

Controls in this game are simplistic and frustrating. Have to say I'm feeling quite swindled at having paid $3 for this. Don't make my mistake...

Very well done but can get annoying

At first I loved this game but after you get to the harder levels you have to keep replaying the same level over and over. This normally wouldn't be a problem but since the songs are just 10 second clips repeated over and over it will make you go crazy. And turning off the music really isn't an option because you're supposed to move to the beat of the music.. I don't think it's that hard to play the game (moving to a beat) however I was in band for 6 years so that may be why. All in all it's a really fun and unique puzzle game IF you can keep a beat and don't mind listening to 10 second music clips over and over.

Awesome, but needs retina!

This game is fantastic, certainly worth 3 greenbacks. However, it would look stunning with retina support, which it doesn't have. I realize that games like this are hard to upgrade resolution-wise, but I can dream.

Awesome! And a sound fix suggestion

Love the game! If your iPad suddenly does not have sound on this game, which happened to me, tap your home button twice to bring up the tools at the bottom of the screen, scroll all the way to the left and be sure your mute is not selected. This happened to me and I blame my kid. Now, back to sneaking!

Just beat the game, while collecting all the clocks in every stage.. And you give me a *spoiler alert* remix stage?? The developer of this game sure knows how to make a complete game. I am so grateful I was able to play such an entertaining game at 2.99 only. I would gladly (well, maybe not gladly) pay 5 bucks for the sequel! Keep up the good work guys! i will be so waiting for another sneaky action!

No sound, pointless

Sound does not work on iPad 3 which defeats the purpose of the game. Developer website offers no solution. Very disappointed.
